NetLogo Exploration: Sunflower Biomorphs

The Sunflower Biomorphs example remained my favorite sample from the NetLogo library.

I decided I would add in another gene to define the petal’s shape. This did prove to be more difficult than I had anticipated, as I did not fully understand the syntax of the program. Where was the shape defined? After poking through the User Manual. I realized that this was because there is a default shape for each turtle, so it did not need to be explicitly defined within the program.

Here are some screenshots of the program after I added in a shape gene.
